A Letter From Saudi Arabia - 1,402 words
... and an Arabic Muslim. When I say diversity, I
basically mean the traditions, the way of
practicing religion. I have come to realize the
fact that Islam is practiced differently in all
the different parts of the world, and the way I
practiced it when I was in the US, is certainly
quite different from what I have seen and
practiced here. Then there are so many customs
which actually have their root in the beliefs of
Islam, which I was totally unaware of. For example
everybody removes their shoes at the doorstep
before entering the house, even when you are
invited to someones home. Umar told me that it is
a tradition that has been carried out for
centuries now10. Speaking of traditions, in ...

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION A NECESSARY POLICY TO PREVENT
DISCRIMINATION AND INEQUITIES OR A DISCRIMINATIVE
AND INEQUITABLE POLCY INTRODUCTION Historically,
there have been arguments about what Affirmative
Action (AA) really is. The basis of the argument
for the most part, debates the goal(s) of AA. Is
the goal of AA to erase past inequities for the
disabled, minorities and/or women without protest?
Or is Affirmative Action a culture or spirit that
rewards diversity and differences? Basically there
are two definitions or schools of thought for AA.
The first school of thought is that AA is an
umbrella term for laws and policies that the
United States Executive, Judicial, and legislative
bodies have ma ...

Affirmative Action - 1,186 words
Affirmative Action Affirmative action has been the
subject of increasing debate and tension in our
society. Affirmative action has divided political
parties, communities and campuses across the
nation. The basis behind affirmative action is
that because of past discrimination and
oppression, such as the unequal treatment of
women, and the enslavement of African Americans,
minorities and women have difficulty competing
with their white male counterparts. Tax breaks for
home buyers may not be wrong but what is wrong are
those who take advantage of all kinds of breaks
for themselves while denying affirmative action
for the most oppressed of society. The government
runs many programs to increase ...

Aikido - 664 words
Aikido Aikido is a Japanese martial art currently
practiced throughout the world. Behind the
powerful catapulting throws and immobilizing locks
and pins of Aikido lie some very simple
principles: remove yourself from the direct line
of your enemys attack, and through the absorption
and deflection of the force of the attack, your
enemy is taken out of balance and defeated by the
energy of his or her own aggression. Aikido does
not use strength against strength, but stresses
body and mind relaxation to direct the opponents
force away. Because its main purpose is not to
take the offensive in injuring or harming the
opponent, Aikido has often been called a
"nonviolent" martial art. In daily prac ...

racial intolerance as part and parcel of being a
human being is not an individual many others would
appreciate being around, that is unless the other
person shares the same inclination toward white
supremacy. The challenge of living among diversity
is to construe morality in such a way that it is
flexible enough to accommodate very diverse
circumstances and life-styles, but not yet to give
up on a vision of a shared conception of the good
life. An ethic of responsibility challenges us to
recognize that there are alternative visions of
the good life that can coexist within a social web

... did not change much through the years. A cause
could be in the human's nature of the need for
belonging to a whole. There are two main
approaches that could break the firmness of a
social structure. One comes from outside the
system by enculturation, and attacks the
un-fairness of the structure with compare to other
ones. A second approach could be made by the lower
classes demanding for better conditions. In India,
there seems to be a form of harmony and peace
within the lower classes. The "Herd Theory"
explains this phenomenon by going back to the
nature of human behavior. As other animals, people
seem to think that a great form of self-defense is

Eleians, Iphitos, rededicated the games to the
honor of Zeus, (the most important god in the
ancient Greek pantheon). As a result of the
religious nature of the games, all wars would

Animal Intelligence - 963 words
Animal Intelligence? Often those who study animal
intelligence are searching for the human
reflection in the animal world. They feel that by
unraveling the workings of the animal brain, they
might find clues to the mysterious minds of
humans. And because of their closeness to
humankind, they find monkeys and apes especially
fascinating. A major component of intelligence
lies in flexibility of mind and adaptability to
situations. When things change, when they are not
the way they were before, the intelligent animal
notices and tries to adjust to the changed
circumstances. The instinctual animal, such as a
honeybee collecting for the hive, sometimes cannot
adjust, so it continues in its old be ...

Aquaculture - 1,393 words
Aquaculture Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic
organisms in fresh, or salt water. A wide variety
of aquatic organisms are produced through
aquaculture, including fish, crustaceans,
mollusks, algae, and aquatic plants. Unlike
capture fisheries, aquaculture requires deliberate
human intervention in the organisms' productivity
and results in yields that exceed those from the
natural environment alone. Stocking water with
(juvenile organisms), fertilizing the water,
feeding the organisms, and maintaining water
quality are common examples of such intervention.
Most aquacultural crops are destined for human
consumption. However, aquaculture also produces
bait fishes, ornamental or aquarium fish ...
